Chapter 12: The Four Worlds

In addition to the content, the difference between a star and a star map is almost in that a top-level star can record the detailed map information of the entire Xiuzhen Realm, while a hundred star maps may not be able to record the specific coordinates of the main planets of a certain Xiuzhen Star Domain. The relationship between them is very similar to the difference between a Qiankun bag and a storage ring, the attributes are almost the same, but the actual function is far from the same.

In addition, whether it is a star map or a star mark, users can add information by themselves, take the initiative to supplement and refine, and cultivators can also exchange star charts with each other, directly borrow the fruits of others' labor, and make up for the missing parts of their star charts, making them more comprehensive and accurate.

Therefore, in the cultivation realm, the star map mastered by the cultivation master is also a very valuable asset. In addition to the fact that their star maps are very comprehensive and complete after many exchanges and supplements, they may also indicate some unique coordinates that have been discovered by those cultivators themselves and are unknown to others, such as some hidden resource planets, or immortal mansions left by predecessors, or some other mysterious places, in short, they are all places of special value.

As the most powerful Scattered Immortal-level master in the cultivation realm, the star markers of Xingyun Zhenren, Baicao Sanren and Wei Changfeng and others are naturally the top one, and the star map inside is also very comprehensive, not only recording the detailed coordinates of the vast majority of the planets in the cultivation realm and the small heaven outer heaven, but even the part of the inner and outer star fields near the cultivation realm of the Burial God Abyss has several teleportation routes marked, as long as Ye Qiuli finds any of these teleportation arrays, he can immediately use them to directly teleport to the cultivation realm. Of course, at that time, all the star maps in his hands could be used uniformly, and there were not just one or two lines.

In addition to the detailed map of the cultivation realm, in the star mark of Xingyun Zhenren and others, Ye Qiuli also saw the general star map of the entire human realm for the first time, although it was only a sketch that they simulated according to the legend of the cultivation realm and their own understanding, and there was no detailed coordinate information, but it was this sketch that also gave Ye Qiuli the greatest help.

According to the sketch, the human world is mainly divided into four major areas, namely the cultivation realm, the demon cultivation realm, the Buddha cultivation realm and the demon cultivation realm, these four realms are separated by the burial abyss, which are located on the east, north, west and south sides of the burial abyss, and they are not known how far apart they are. There is also a unique name for the star field that is connected to the periphery of the Burial God Abyss, which is the Outer Heaven of the Little Heaven, the Nine Secret Realms, the Pure Land of Suopo, and the Mirror Lake Dragon City, all of which are areas where the masters of the Scattered Immortals and Scattered Demons from all walks of life are active, and occasionally there are also Nether Immortals and Demons appearing in it.

This is the specific division of the human world, as for the real fairy world, the demon world, the Buddha world and the demon world, they are located in another independent space, basically completely isolated from the mortal world, leaving only a retrograde passage to maintain the connection with the lower world, and this passage is also opened in the middle of the burial abyss near the periphery area, which is difficult for ordinary people to approach. Just like the retrograde passage of the immortal realm, which is opened in the outer periphery of the small heaven and deeper into the burial abyss, when the immortal enters the cultivation realm, he basically has to pass through the small heaven and the outer heaven. Retrograde channels from other walks of life are in a similar position.

In fact, the emergence and formation of the Little Heaven Outer Heaven, the Nine Secret Realms, the Pure Land of Suopo, and the Mirror Lake Dragon City are all closely related to the retrograde passages to the Nether Realm from all walks of life. After all, it was easier to get in touch with the Upper Realm cultivators in those places, and it was also a rare opportunity for masters at the Scattered Immortal and Scattered Demon levels, and it was also human nature for them to often move in those places, and over time, a unique world that was not quite the same as the ordinary cultivation world was naturally formed.

By comparing the star map of the Burial God Yuan recorded in the star mark with the Milky Way star map observed by modern technology, Ye Qiuli finally determined that the location of the solar system was a little inward in the middle of the eastern part of the Burial God Yuan, which was closer to the core. If we look at the star map of the Milky Way, the outermost part of the cantilever where the solar system is located is the small heaven outer heaven, and further out is the real cultivation realm, the solar system is exactly at the inner edge of the cantilever, and the small heaven outer heaven is at the outer edge.

According to the results of comparing the star maps, if you want to go to the Xiuzhen Realm, the quickest way is to leave the solar system, turn your back to the silver heart of the Milky Way, and fly straight to the periphery at the speed of light, and you can reach the Xiaotian Outer Heaven after about 25,000 years, and when you reach the Xiaotian Outer Heaven, it is not far from the Xiuzhen Realm.

It's just that this method is definitely the most primitive and barbaric method, and there is no possibility of success for a cultivator, because the longest lifespan of a cultivator is only 5,000 years, which is too far from 25,000 years. If you want to reach the cultivation realm quickly, you can only borrow the teleportation array left behind by the ancient cultivators.

Ye Qiuli piloted the spaceship to explore the planets outside the solar system this time in order to find the teleportation array left by the ancient cultivators. The current results are not bad, according to the teleportation route map marked by Lu Yan in the star and the electronic star map he established himself, there are 4 or 5 teleportation arrays within 100 light-years of the solar system.

If Lu Yan's marked line was not wrong, he wouldn't even need to fly 100 light-years away, because there was an intact ancient teleportation array in the Alpha Centauri star system 4.4 light-years away from Earth.

At this time, Ye Qiuli was on his way to Alpha Centauri, and according to the previous situation, it was estimated that it would take another 7 or 8 years to reach it. The reason why it takes so long to find a teleportation array is that the speed of the "Chitu" spacecraft he built himself is still not fast enough, and the main reason is that the star fields near the solar system are too empty, and there are too few star systems similar to it, where terrestrial planets may exist, so the number of teleportation arrays left is relatively rare.

From the star map, the star system in the Milky Way galaxy where the solar system is located is very sparse, and within 10 light-years from the sun, the closest star system is the constellation Alpha Centauri, which is 4.4 light-years away from the Earth. Stars A and B of this triad star system are very close stars that closely resemble the Sun, while C, also known as Proxima centauri, is a small red dwarf that orbits the pair at a distance of 0.2 light-years.

Beyond the nearest Alpha Centauri star system, there is Barnard 6 light-years away, Wolf-359 7.8 light-years away, Laland-21185 8.3 light-years away, and Sirius, the largest star within 10 light-years of Earth, about twice as massive as the Sun, orbiting a white dwarf star (Sirius B) at a distance of 8.6 light-years.

In addition to these large and small star systems, within 10 light-years of the solar system, there are two red dwarf stars UV Cetus 8.7 light-years from Earth, and Ross 154, a solitary red dwarf star 9.7 light-years from Earth. The single star similar to the Sun and closest to Earth is τ Cetus 11.9 light-years away, which has about 80% of the mass of the Sun but only 60% of its luminosity.

Such a sparse star system naturally makes terrestrial planets in this cosmic space where the solar system is located very rare and rare, and the number of planets that need to be arranged with teleportation arrays is also much smaller, so there are not too many teleportation arrays left. If it is in a place where the planets of the cultivation realm are dense and cultivators are active, there may be teleportation arrays connected to each other between some planets that are visible to the naked eye, just like Mars and Earth, even low-level cultivators who have just started cultivating can freely travel between the two planets through the teleportation array.

After contemplating and thinking about it again, recalling Lu Yan and Xuanjizi's investigation and record of the earth's environment in their respective messages, Ye Qiuli didn't feel too surprised by the fact that the teleportation array near the solar system was so rare, after all, because of the dangerous cosmic environment of the burial abyss where the earth was located, there were not many traces of cultivators, and it was normal that there were not too many teleportation arrays left.

What's more, this star field has also had an Ancient God War that has affected countless cultivators, even if there were many teleportation arrays in the past, most of them were destroyed by the war, and now being able to find four or five teleportation arrays within a radius of 100 light years was already a big surprise for him.

In addition, the distance of 100 light years may be out of reach for ordinary humans, so far that it is impossible to imagine at all, but for a true cultivator, that distance is not much different from the distance between the earth and the moon, and it can be reached by lifting your feet.

In the cultivation realm, masters in the Distraction Period can use teleportation to fly away from the planet at a super-fast speed, masters in the Merge Stage can use the Great Movement to teleport over long distances, masters in the Tribulation Period can use the Great Movement of the Starry Sky to move freely between the stars in the star system, masters in the Mahayana Period and Scattered Immortals can use the Star Movement Technique to move freely between star systems, and Immortal masters can use the Great Movement of Zhou Tian to move quickly across star fields.

The masters on the top of the list, when they move quickly, they all use the Five Elements Divine Escape, Streamer Escape, Star Gathering Shadow, Phantom Clone Technique, Outside the Body Incarnation Technique, Shape-shifting Dafa and other mysterious escape techniques or magic techniques, in addition to the super speed, the sense of the body, almost directly folded space to shuttle through time and space, but also not afraid of road obstacles, over the mountains, wading in the water.

100 light-years of cosmic space, that is, the distance between several star systems, such a small distance is not a problem for a scattered immortal-level master, not to mention an ancient cultivator whose strength is incomparably strong, and his cultivation far surpasses that of an immortal. For them, maybe the entire galaxy is their own courtyard, they can wander around at will, and they can leave a lot of teleportation arrays in it, which is already a very lucky thing for the junior cultivators.

Therefore, as long as he can determine that the coordinates and routes marked in the star are not wrong, Ye Qiuli is already very satisfied, and he doesn't pay too much attention to the distance of a few light years and more than ten light years, and it is a big deal to fly a little longer. Just like now, he has been flying in the empty and lonely space for nearly 3 years, and he has long been more than 1 light-year away from the earth, and it is not a big problem to continue flying for a few years.
